TypeError: import_meta.resolve is not a function when starting Storybook React Native with Node.js v22.21.1

[forimbajosh21]

Describe the bug
Hi! I'm trying to integrate Storybook into my React Native project, but it fails to start with TypeError: import_meta.resolve is not a function error during main configuration file evaluation.
Btw, I'm using Expo without expo-router.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set up React Native Expo project with Storybook
2. Configure main.ts with standard TypeScript configuration
3. Run yarn storybook command
4. See error during startup process with MainFileEvaluationError

Expected behavior
Storybook should successfully start and load the configuration from main.ts, launching the development server to view component stories in React Native environment.

Screenshots
N/A - Terminal error output provided below.

Code snippets
Current metro.config.js configuration:

// Learn more https://docs.expo.io/guides/customizing-metro
const {getDefaultConfig} = require('expo/metro-config');
const {withStorybook} = require('@storybook/react-native/metro/withStorybook');
const path = require('path');

/** @type {import('expo/metro-config').MetroConfig} */
const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);
const {transformer, resolver} = config;

config.transformer = {
  ...transformer,
  babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer/expo'),
};
config.resolver = {
  ...resolver,
  assetExts: resolver.assetExts.filter(ext => ext !== 'svg'),
  sourceExts: [...resolver.sourceExts, 'svg'],
  nodeModulesPaths: [
    ...resolver.nodeModulesPaths,
    path.resolve(__dirname, 'modules'),
  ],
  extraNodeModules: {
    src: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
    app: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/app'),
    common: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/common'),
    features: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/features'),
    navigations: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/navigations'),
    services: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/services'),
  },
};

module.exports = withStorybook(config, {
  enabled: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_STORYBOOK_ENABLED === 'true',
});

Current main.ts configuration:

import type {StorybookConfig} from '@storybook/react-native';

const main: StorybookConfig = {
  stories: [
    // the paths are relative to the main.ts file itself
    '../src/features/shared/components/**/*.stories.?(ts|tsx|js|jsx)',
  ],
  addons: [
    '@storybook/addon-ondevice-controls',
    '@storybook/addon-ondevice-actions',
  ],
};

export default main;
